While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

47 | Do You Want to be Healed?


Listen Later

The fifth chapter of John tells of an encounter between Jesus and a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years.  Jesus asked the man a strange question:  "Do you want to be healed?"  Of course he did ... but he was unable to attain healing on his own.  Jesus asked the man to take an action he was clearly incapable of ... and in that moment, He gave the man the ability to take that first trembling step toward healing.  In today's episode, Jill discusses how we as grieving parents often seek to hold on to our pain, as it's a link to our child.  She reminds us that though we will always have a very tender and painful place deep inside, we needn't live in misery for the rest of our lives.  Abundant life is possible after child loss ... though it's certainly different from what we once thought an abundant life would represent.  Because of Jesus ... and as He gives us the ability ... we too can pick up our beds and walk.
